Janet Jackson Gives Birth, People Magazine Reports

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- Janet Jackson, who rose to fame on the strength of her collaborations with the Twin Cities' Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, has given birth to her son.

A spokesperson for the 50-year old singer told People Magazine that Jackson and her husband welcomed their first child, a boy named Eissa, last week.

People had speculated last spring that she was pregnant, and while she didn't confirm it until October, she did postpone a concert tour last year.

Jackson's husband is Qatari businessman Wissam Al Mana.

The two were married in 2012.
